Geospatial Control GCC Environment

(5) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

I am surprised no one else has asked this but using geospatial capabilities in our apps would be a game changer.    In the documentation for geospatial services, it simply states that geocontrols are not available for government clients.  As a manager in a conservation  agency I find this highly disappointing and a big drawback in using PowerApps for some of our business processes.    Has anyone in GCC come across this issue? I welcome any tips on how to make even a simple point dataset map work? 

Furthermore, from the ESRI User Conference I learned that ESRI is working on a private beta that will soon be a public beta for AGOL based maps in PowerApps.   So are those in the GCC environment going to miss out on potentially connecting these two highly used applications?

    Have you looked at PowerBI for you mapping needs? I have found it generally does everything I need using default Bing maps visualizations, and can be integrated with Canvas apps or MDAs. We have also had success creating PCF controls to fit custom mapping needs - you can look into that if you can code or have a developer available.

    DCR,

    Here is an old video that using the Bing Maps connector to create similar functionality to the geospatial features.  Bing Maps is a standard connector and available in GCC. PowerApps - Build apps using Bing Maps API - YouTube
